UNSPSC 50386367: Rich red plum purees

The variety of plums known as rich red plums which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50386367 Rich red plum purees (Commodity) shows limited direct activity but sits within a broader state and local procurement pattern for shelf-stable and fresh fruit products. Recent solicitations under and adjacent to this code reveal that state and local governments purchase fruit products in multiple forms—canned applesauce, fresh produce including berries and specialty fruits, dried fruit bars, and broader food-service commodities that encompass fruit components. Issuing bodies span state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, independent school districts, county purchasing offices, city education departments, and state veterans homes. Procurement approaches vary: some solicitations use informal written quotes (RFQ/IFB), while others issue formal RFPs. Vendors respond to specifications that often permit brand-or-equal substitution, though some procurements demand specific branded products. Delivery requirements are typically FOB Destination with advance scheduling to school or institutional kitchens, and compliance with USDA commodity standards, Buy American provisions, and food-safety documentation (HACCP plans, health inspection records) is standard.

Recent opportunities with fruit content are geographically dispersed across Georgia (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners requesting mixed food items including canned products via IFB; Hancock County Board of Education procuring fresh produce spanning berries and specialty fruits via IFB PE67080NONST2027000000013 due June 26, 2026; State of Georgia issuing bids on food supplies), Illinois (State of Illinois Chief Procurement Office issuing multiple weekly food orders for the Illinois Veterans Home at Quincy via brand-specific and brand-or-equal proposals in August and June 2026), Oregon (Oregon Department of Corrections issuing ITBs for canned applesauce in July and May 2026, with historical awards to vendors such as Robbins Sales and MJ Kellner), Texas (Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting food and consumables for state-supported living centers and hospitals; Texas Comptroller on behalf of TDCJ issuing cafeteria food products IFB 304T26300CF), Connecticut (City of Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center requesting commodities via IFB BNB053266 due June 26, 2026), and Massachusetts (Hancock County, noted separately).
